Default Pics of My Chrome Front End

Just finished up tonight. This is the 2007 kit that alot of us got off eBay really cheap (Thanks Nils!). I also installed a Nacelle Headlight and a Chrome Caliper. I have a bunch more to do, but thought I would share what I do have done so far.

This is before:

My wife is wanting the chrome forks for her 08 Heritage and seen those on ebay. I have not really ever wrenched on her bike, as she is kinda picky to say the least. So I am assuming not that difficult.

Nope....pretty straight forward really. It took longer cutting the pvc for lowering the front than to change out the lowers...lol

Thanks, The local dealer has a special, but I tell you I just hate to turn loose the kind of money they are wanting when I know I can do it.

Looks great so far... I like the difference the chrome forks make. I'm also anxious
to see it when it's done.

Thats the 07 kit on your 2000? Did it bolt right up? I thought there was a few different things that would not let it fit.
